             Summary: VertexRDD can not be materialized for checkpointing
                 Key: SPARK-2245
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2245
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: GraphX
            Reporter: Baoxu Shi


Seems one can not materialize VertexRDD by simply calling count method, which 
is overridden by VertexRDD. But if you call RDD's count, it could materialize 
it.

Is this a feature that designed to get the count without materialize VertexRDD? 
If so, do you guys think it is necessary to add a materialize method to 
VertexRDD?

By the way, does count() is the cheapest way to materialize a RDD? Or it just 
cost the same resources like other actions?

The pull request is here:

Best,
